  • CHRS Journal
    The California Historical Radio Society (CHRS), is a non-profit educational corporation chartered in the State of California. CHRS was formed in 1974 to promote the restoration and preservation of early radio and broadcasting. Our goal is to enable the exchange of ideas and information on the history of radio, particularly in the West, with emphasis on collecting, preserving, and displaying early equipment, literature, and programs. Yearly membership is $30. CHRS Museum at Historic KRE CHRS is fortunate to occupy and restore the historic KRE radio station building located at 601 Ashby Avenue in Berkeley, CA. The KRE station an important landmark in S.F. Bay Area radio history. Orig- inally constructed in 1937, the KRE station was one of the first facilities built in California specifically for broadcasting. The KRE site has been transmitting AM radio signals for over 70 years and still operates today as KVTO. In 1972, it was the location for scenes featuring “Wolfman Jack” and Richard Dreyfuss in the George Lucas film, “American Graffiti.” The restoration of the station plus creation of a museum and educational center gives us an environment to share our knowledge and love of radio. It enables us to create an appreciation and understanding for a new generation of antique radio collectors and historians.

    SH 21-76 UNITED STATES ARMY HANDBOOK Not for the weak or fainthearted “Let the enemy come till he's almost close enough to touch. Then let him have it and jump out and finish him with your hatchet.” Major Robert Rogers, 1759 RANGER TRAINING BRIGADE United States Army Infantry School Fort Benning, Georgia FEBRUARY 2011 RANGER CREED Recognizing that I volunteered as a Ranger, fully knowing the hazards of my chosen profession, I will always endeavor to uphold the prestige, honor, and high esprit de corps of the Rangers. Acknowledging the fact that a Ranger is a more elite Soldier who arrives at the cutting edge of battle by land, sea, or air, I accept the fact that as a Ranger my country expects me to move further, faster, and fight harder than any other Soldier. Never shall I fail my comrades I will always keep myself mentally alert, physically strong, and morally straight and I will shoulder more than my share of the task whatever it may be, one hundred percent and then some. Gallantly will I show the world that I am a specially selected and well trained Soldier. My courtesy to superior officers, neatness of dress, and care of equipment shall set the example for others to follow. Energetically will I meet the enemies of my country. I shall defeat them on the field of battle for I am better trained and will fight with all my might. Surrender is not a Ranger word. I will never leave a fallen comrade to fall into the hands of the enemy and under no circumstances will I ever embarrass my country.

  • A Voice Across the Pacific: KWID & KWIX FDR Sought to Throw America’S Voice Westward by Dr
    A Voice Across the Pacific: KWID & KWIX FDR Sought to Throw America’s Voice Westward by Dr. Adrian M. Peterson, 4.23.2008 It was August 1941, just a few months before the tragic events now known worldwide as Pearl Harbor. President Roosevelt called a meeting of prominent radio personnel at the White House to establish an international broadcasting network, which has since become the Voice of America. One of the well-known radio personnel present was Wesley Dumm, who had been successful in medium-wave broadcasting in California for the last decade or so. During the White House meetings, the president asked Dumm to build two shortwave stations in the San Francisco area for coverage into the Far East. FDR stated that both NBC and CBS had been invited to install shortwave stations in California, but both had declined due to huge financial losses at their shortwave stations already on the air with programming beamed to Latin America. Congress would not appropriate funding for this new international radio project, the president stated, so he would make payment out of discretionary funds available at the White House. American voice Things began to move quite rapidly. The government bought the new 100 kW GE transmitter that had recently come into service as W2XAF-WGEO at Schenectady, N.Y. In the meantime, work was underway at Islais Creek, on the Bay Shore a little south of San Francisco, where an extension was constructed to the (click thumbnail) Pre-war postcard shows the hotel that transmitter building of the medium-wave housed studios for KWID and KWIX for station, KSFO.

  • CONNECTING a CONTINENT: AT&T and the Broadcast Networks
    CONNECTING A CONTINENT: AT&T and the Broadcast Networks Copyright 2021 by Mark Durenberger This is a second update of the original work dated October, 2013. The most important changes include: 1) The strengthening and expanding of a good deal of factual information, including further research and follow-up on comments and suggestions offered by readers of the original work. Thank you for your input! 2) The rebuilding of drawings and the addition of illustrations and URLs to offer deeper understanding. 3) The transfer of deep technical detail to the last chapter where it becomes a technical addendum. (This should make the story easier to follow and should make it easier for those not interested in such detail…while offering deep technical detail for those who are.) 4) The original URLs pointed to an older website. These hot buttons have been repointed as of April 2021. 5) The document has been reformatted and may be easier to read. To supplement the material referenced throughout, we’re fortunate to keep turning up fresh information online. New web sites appear almost daily containing scans of the trade magazines, literature and correspondence involving the subject under scrutiny (one of the most useful is WorldRadioHistory.Com). Hopefully the changes will be useful! "Everything that once was wireless is now wired. Everything that once was wired is now wireless." - Rodney E. Nilk About four years ago, inspired by a piece by James O’Neal in Radio World Magazine I came to realize that, while many of us grew up in a broadcast industry created in part by AT&T, there’s been no easy access to the full detail of AT&T’s contributions.
